今天分享一个大家常犯的错误
“The price is too expensive.”
这个句子中文看来好像没什麽问题

不过英文就不对了
中文我们可以说一个东西很贵也可以说一个东西的「价格」很贵。
但在英文裡，
只能说某个事物「便宜」或「贵」
也就是说当你要用形容词 cheap (廉价的) / inexpensive (不贵的) / expensive (昂贵的) 时只能用东西当主词
例子：Carrots are cheap.
Non-smartphones are inexpensive these days.
It is expensive to fly business-class.

当主词是 price 时，正确的形容词应该是 high (高) / low (低)
因此「价格太贵」要说 The price is too high. 才对
另一个说法是 The price is too steep.
另外像这样常被误用的字还有 rent (租金)、speed (速度) 等
中文也会说「租金很便宜/贵」或「速度很快/慢」
但 rent / speed 搭配的形容词一样该是 high / low
所以应该说 The rent is too high. 而不是 The rent is too expensive.
The car was running at a high speed. 而不是 The car was running at a fast speed.
